Malabar Headland – 2 December 2020

Another day spent out on Malabar Headland. I think things are starting to quieten down in regard to the juvenile Peregrine Falcons. They can now fly a lot further and seem a lot harder to locate when perched on the cliffs.

On this trip, I could hear one of the juvenile Peregrine Falcons calling out, from somewhere in Dead Man’s Gulch. I could not see it until it moved.

It flew for a short time and then landed in a spot I could see.

One of it parent was perched on the far side of Dead Man’s Gulch.

I could follow an old track to close to the juvenile. But I was too close and it flew off.

It landed on the far side of the gulch.

I watched bot the juvenile and its parent. The parent was the first to take-off.

The juvenile also took-off at almost the same time. They flew together briefly.

Then the juvenile landed again.

I was ready for when it took-off.

The juvenile flew out of the area, and I could not locate it. I later spotted one of the parents on a ledge near Boora Point.

On my way out I stopped to photograph this Little Wattlebird

And this Water Skink

At the pond near the park entrance, I photographed some of the Welcome Swallows
